To all who have commented and added to the conversation so far, thanks heaps, and drop back soon. In the meantime I have some links for your enjoyment and thinking…
Satirical stories about revival:
“The Revival” on Rowland Croucher’s Blog
“Mississipi Squirrel Revival” Song Lyrics also at JMM – worth a read if you’ve ever watched people convulsing with “the spirit” and wondered if perhaps it wasn’t quite authentic… was it in fact a squirrel?
Gay and Lesbian acceptance/intollerance in pentecostal churches:
Why Aussie Pentecostals Will Embrace GLBT People. An Article by Anthony Venn-Brown on Freedom 2b[e]- Well worth a read, regardless of your POV on the topic… its encouraging if you are pro-change… and if you’re anti-gay, this article might make you very uncomfortable… but you should certainly read it!
Also, Anthony Venn-Brown’s blog… his book is very revealing, and well worth a read, again, regardless of your POV.
A Different Way of thinking about Church:
Steve sent me this link on facebook. There’s a lot of Christian “language” involved… but behind that, there’s a very different philosophy visible. Plus, aesthetically speaking its very future-friendly.
If anyone else has valuable links, feel free to comment them below!
